1205454 2011-06-02 06:15:00 I'm assuming that the extra $200 goes towards the excess steel apple uses.

Fool! It's for that ultra exclusive white paint they use

1205455 2011-06-02 06:52:00 imo p8600 out performs the 460m


All it says is Intel Core 2 Duo @2.4 which may or may not be a P8600, cant be bothered looking it up to the different versions.

What it does say though is the MAC has a 250GB HDD, and 2 GB RAM, half of the ASUS. power and speed is not always required.

Doesn't really matter anyway, MAC's are still over priced for what they are.

I'm not sure about this, but only Apple MacBook Pro and Air uses aluminium . It seems like standard Macbooks still use the polymers .

Polycarbonate; that's the one .

Still better than my laptop's cheap-and-nasty ABS, I guess .

1205457 2011-06-02 21:28:00 ^ Exactly, compare the pricing to the likes of an HP Elitebook, or something else of similar build quality (samsung series 9 or what ever it is), all of a sudden they don't look over priced Alex B (15479)
1205458 2011-06-02 23:06:00 Lol HP at a similar build quality. I 'suppose the probooks aren't too bad. The series 9 netbook is sooooooooo expensive.

1205459 2011-06-02 23:26:00 twice the Amount of Memory, a better more modern CPU ( a Intel Core i5-460M will blow away the Intel Core 2 Duo in the MAC)

They seem to be quite different statements, and I can tell you that the Macbook ships standard with the P8600 .

I will give you that the Asus has more RAM (they both have 1066mhz ram) . But then again "power and speed is not always required . "

However it is let down by the 310GT (or 310M) which is one of the biggest pile of sh*t graphics cards I have ever seen in a laptop . The 320M (even though I believe is only 1 card up) blows the 310M away .

Generally I research things before I knock them, just saying .

That is just ignorance .

Elitebook not Probook, not that the ProBook is exactly of poor build quality, but it's still plastic.

1205461 2011-06-03 00:55:00 My bad. Got them confused.
